Diesel Locomotive Gravita 10 BB Voith (AC Digital Premium)

Although the vehicle had only existed as a prototype andwas not yet widely tested, DB Schenker decided on morethan 130 locomotives for the Gravita 10 BB in its 2007 bid invitation. By now, the first units of the Gravita 10 BB are in use on the Northrail on German rail tracks. The designated DB machines are currently in production and will soon be seen in use nationwide under the series designation BR 260. Apart from Northrail, another 5 locomotives went to Switzerland. Continuing this success, the next larger sister in this series, the Gravita 15 BB, was shown in Berlin in 2010. Although only 1.2 m longer than the Gravita 10 BB, it produces up to 1,800kW, making it as suitable for line service as it is for shunting. All locomotives built by Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik are also suited for multi-led traction with each other. The engine assembled under the serial number L04-15 001 is being exhaustively tested at present.
